Having a baby with a deaf person doesn't automatically mean the baby will inherit deafness. Actually, the genetics of deafness vary since hearing parents may have a deaf kid whereas deaf parents may have a hearing baby.
The genetics of skin color inheritance are complex. Even scientists are not sure how the whole process works and exactly which genes are in play. A baby inherits skin color genes from both biological parents, a mixture of different genes will determine their skin color. Since a baby inherits half its genes from each biological parent, its physical appearance will be a mix of both. Your chances of having a brown-skinned child, are high if both parents are brown-skinned. However, anything can happen, and whatever the complexion of the baby be grateful!!
